    It's preorder time.

    Eh, I think I am sitting this one out. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wii Sports are the only games I am inerested until around next year when Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy come out and I just honestly do not think two games can carry a console for an entire year.

    My plan...
    -Xbox 360 x-mas '06
    -Wii x-mas '07
    -PS3 x-mas '08

    Wii - $250
    Games - $50
    Sony crapping their pants - pricele$$

    Totally getting this bad boy at launch.

    November 19th looks like it'll be quite the day. Zelda: Twilight Princess, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, a classic controller and a bunch of virtual console games. Wii!

    Some great news. The Wii will be region free.

    Even though it will be a fun day....my wallet will be crying all the way home. :(

    I'll be amazed if Sony actually manages to make the November 17th release at all.

    Not me, I'll probably cash in my PSP as well and get a DS Lite to go with the Wii.
    See ya, Sony.

    And just like that the pre-orders are all gone. :(


    But I got mine. HA HA!!!

    Did anyone see the price tag on additional Wii-motes and nunchucks? $60 for the package is quite pricey.

    Accessories have always been a very high-margin business. Considering that a wireless XBox 360 controller costs $40 or $50, it's not so bad. The Wii controller has a speaker in it and some other stuff that obviously makes it more expensive than a normal controller. If you don't like it, wait and buy a crappy 3rd party controller. Personally, I don't buy 3rd party accessories for game consoles. It always ends in tears.

    I'm holding out until the new Pokemon Battle game comes out for the Wii.

    I've already seen the screen shots and it looks cool!

    I agree that 3rd party accessories suck (Madcatz anyone?) but even a $10 price drop seems reasonable. It's just interesting that the controllers are more expensive than the games.

    BTW did anyone else see that the Wii will support flash games :)

    What I don't understand is this weird and sudden hatred I'm seeing online for Nintendo 'cause the Wii isn't $200, and 'cause they are actually making a profit on the hardware at launch day. Seemed like everyone loved Nintendo before this press conference and then suddenly people start popping up and bashing them...

    *sigh*

    I guess that's just how the internet is...
  • tuttle88tuttle88
    I got an email today, cause I'm a member of the Nintendo Members Club, its very exclusive. Australian launch date - 7th of December. Price $399.95 which includes...
    "The price includes one wireless Wii Remote controller, one Nunchukâ„¢ controller and the groundbreaking collection of five different Wii Sports games on one disc, which anyone can play using simple movements, experienced or not."

    Here is the link.

    I'm not planning to get the Wii for at least a couple of months.
  • OberinjenkaiOberinjenkai
    Go Wii!!^^ I will probably not get it for at least a couple months as well.
  • tuttle88tuttle88
    It comes out just before my birthday, hmm...
  • AprecheApreche
    Yesterday I preordered a Wii at the Nintendo World Store.
  • KieyKiey
